A Deadline Finally Set

I'm getting really close to having all the blocks done for my DJ quilt top. Today I completed 3, and I love the way they look. Barring any unforeseen problems, I'll have all 169 done by the end of the month - maybe before. I still have some really hard ones to do, but I tackled the one that I thought was the most difficult during the basketball playoffs over the weekend. (My daughter is a graduate of the University of Kentucky, so you can guess which games we were watching. She even left early on Sunday so she could get home in time to watch.) It took me the whole game, but I got the center of it done. Unfortunately, the outer border is harder than the center. We'll see how long it takes me to make that.

Anyway, here are the ones I finished today.

And this is what 150 of them look like all piled up.So far there are 8 fine quilters in the Red White and Blue No Sew Block Swap. If anyone is interested in joining this fine group, all theinformation is on my last post.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. As you can see from my WIP list, my interests are varied, but unfortunately, keep me sitting still to complete them. I am retired, and enjoying all the freedom it brings. My hubby and I enjoy travel, especially cruises, and you can count on seeing pictures of our travels here on occasion. So, I hope you enjoy what I put here, as much as I enjoy my visits to your blog.
